I Have No Son....
Last night Andrew was doing whatever he does on the computer and I was waiting for him to finish so I could do my shit when he casually mentioned that he's going to a Comedy Festival show in 2 weeks time.
'Well you know what you are doing between now and then, don't you?' I asked.
'Wot?' he replied without turning around.
'Finding somewhere else to live.'
He swung around on the computer chair and gave me a look that was 75% bemusement and 25% pity and asked:
'Why do you hate comedy so much? Is it because you spent too much time around them went you worked on The Loft?'
I sobbed.
For those of you who don't know, which I'd guess would be ALL of you, The Loft was a show on Channel 31. For several years I worked on the crew. It was also the television birthplace of Rove McManus and his gang and other lesser local comedic identities. Yes, that isn't a typo. I did say LESSER. Aha.
'But you like Ben Stiller?' he asks and how could I deny it after watching Zoolander a zillion times.
'Do itttttt,' I replied.
'He used to do stand up.'
'Well I like him as an actor not as a stand up comedian.'
'The do ittttt guy was part of his stand up act.'
'Shut up and let me use the computer.'
